That is correct.
It would seem that the Bluetooth system has a slight issue when dialling out a call on an android phone. I did lots of tests including erasing the Bluetooth system, formatting my phone etc and found out that it does work ok with my wifes Samsung galaxy S2 running android 4.1.2. Any android systems newer than this would have the issue.
I have now entered stored most of the common numbers I use on the Honda HFT Bluetooth system and if you press the steering wheel control and say "dial" it asked what name you want to dial. You say the name you recorded and say yes you want to dial then it dials direct from your phone.
It actually works a treat and had no issues at all. So much better than actually fiddling with your phone to dial out in my opinion.
